esophageal sphincter, lower

Preferred Label : esophageal sphincter, lower;

MeSH definition : The physiologic or functional barrier to GASTROESOPHAGEAL REFLUX at the esophagogastric junction. Sphincteric muscles remain tonically contracted during the resting state and form the high-pressure zone separating the lumen of the ESOPHAGUS from that of the STOMACH. (Haubrich et al, Bockus Gastroenterology, 5th ed., pp399, 415);

MeSH synonym : sphincter, lower esophageal; lower esophageal sphincter; Gastroesophageal Sphincter; Gastroesophageal Sphincters; Sphincter, Gastroesophageal;

MeSH annotation : diseases: coordinate IM with ESOPHAGEAL DISEASES (IM) or specific esophageal disease (IM); neoplasms: coordinate IM with STOMACH NEOPLASMS (IM) or ESOPHAGEAL NEOPLASMS (IM) depending on text;
